Annemarie – Bubblegum

Seems that Java’s greatest indie pop band Annemarie are on an extended hiatus. Pity because if anyone could wrestle back the indie pop crown it was this collective. Famed for their genuine twee instincts they released a couple of records that wouldn’t haven’t been out of place on the Sarah roster. What’s more they found themselves tickling the fancy of those tweepop loving labels Music is my Girlfriend (Sweden) and Plastilina Records (Peru). ‘Bubblegum’ is taken from their one and only album ‘ABC on TV’ and dishes their softly focused approach with gay abandon. They’ll sure be missed if they fail to return. KD
